Model-1 "Nova Viper" blaster pistol

The Model-1 "Nova Viper" blaster pistol was a type of blaster pistol manufactured by Raider Arms. It used an elegant, long-bodied duelist pistol frame that provided unmatched accuracy, and as was common in Raider carbine designs, the barrel ran the entire length of the frame, and enabled an unprecedented beam cohesion at range for its size, which gave each blast far more "punch" than competitors.

To keep its weight down and maintain balance, Raider designed a new XCiter, but the compact, precision machining meant the blaster required endless maintenance and was difficult to customize or modify.
